LOL I don't know about Ed but it got colder here on Thanksgiving, high 
temps in the 40's and again today.  It finally feels like Fall.  I've 
had the heat on.  I still won't need a quilt on my bed, though.

The woman who rescued Cleo dropped her off at my house yesterday 
morning.  I let Cleo out of the carrier in my bedroom.  She hid under 
the bed, as expected.  She started coming out gradually when I'd go in 
the bedroom and call her name.  She made a bee-line for the food bowls, 
then she'd go back under the bed.  But now she's coming out almost 
immediately when I walk in say her name, and she's letting me pet her.

I used the scoop to make scratching sounds in the litter box as soon as 
she arrived.  The litter box is in the water closet (toilet & tub area) 
of the bathroom.  She found it and has been using it.  She stayed in the 
bedroom under the bed most of the day today but she's getting more 
brave.  Just now she's ventured out into the living room, where I'm 
sitting at my desk typing.  I'm ignoring her.  Letting her explore on 
her own.  No pressure.

I thought she was a grey tabby with a white face and bib.  Turns out 
she's actually brown with black spots and stripes on her body and two 
white stockings on her back feet.  I'll try to get some pics when she's 
more comfortable in her new surroundings.  She's a beautiful kitten!
